Alexander McQueen
Image
As a designer, you've always got to push yourself forward you've always got to keep up with the trends or make your own trends. That's what I do.

British fashion is self confident and fearless. It refuses to bow to commerce, thus generating a constant flow of new ideas whilst drawing in British heritage.

I can design a collection in a day and I always do, cause I've always got a load of Italians on my back, moaning that it's late.

Image
The turnover of fashion is just so quick and so throwaway, and I think that is a big part of the problem. There is no longevity.
Alexander McQueen
Image
Clothes and jewellery should be startling, individual. When you see a woman in my clothes, you want to know more about them. To me, that is what distinguishes good designers from bad designers.
